Benefits and Scholarships Overview

Army ROTC scholarships are divided into two categories: National Scholarships (for high school seniors) and 4, 3, and 2-year Campus-Based Scholarships (for incoming or current college students).

In addition to scholarships, many of our students elect to participate in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). This option builds on the benefits of enlisting in either the Army National Guard or Army Reserves by adding a promotion to E-5 and a $420 a month stipend while in school.

Scholarship Benefits:

• Full tuition and mandatory fees (or $12,000 annually for room & board)
• $1,200 annually for books and supplies ($600 a semester)
• A monthly stipend of $420 (10 months/year)

4-Year National Army ROTC Scholarships

National scholarships are designed for high school seniors. The application window is during the first half of a student's senior year and lies in conjunction with applying to college. The National Army ROTC scholarship program is run by the U.S. Army Cadet Command. The scholarship application window for the 2023-2024 college school year opens/opened on 12 June 2023. The annual deadline to initiate an application for a four-year national scholarship is February 2024. The application must be completed by March 2024.

2, 3, and 4-Year Campus Based ROTC Scholarships

Campus-based scholarships are designed for high school students (who missed the National application period) OR for undergraduate and graduate level college students. Most campus-based applicants are already enrolled in ROTC, but this is not a requirement. Most of the criteria is still the same, but the process is different than the national process. Most of our Cadets on scholarship in ROTC received their scholarship through the campus-based process. There is scholarship money available and we will work hard to make your packet as competitive as possible to receive one.
